Nebraska Census: Difference between revisions

Federal  

Many federal census records are found at the Family History Library, the National Archives, and other federal and state archives. The United States Research Outline provides more detailed information about these records.  

The Family History Library has the U.S. Federal censuses of Nebraska from 1860, 1870, 1880, 1900, 1910, 1920, and 1930. The 1890 census was destroyed, but the schedule of Union veterans is on microfilm at the Family History Library. The library also has a published index.  

The Federal Government took a special census of Nebraska in 1885, which is on 56 microfilms at the Family History Library and at the Nebraska State Historical Society. The society also has the State Gazetteer and Business Directory for 1886 and a card index made from the directory that provides a partial index to the census. The Family History Library does not have the directory or the card index.  

Published transcripts of the 1860 census and for 35 of the 48 counties in the 1870 census are available. <br>
